A non-cygwin set of utilities that wouldn't ever do what you'd expect.  David,
is there something in the FAQ about this?   I mean something about mix and
match Cygwin vs non-Cygwin utilities, how to find out if a binary is using the
cygwin1.dll, etc?

As for the above mentioned path, I can't stress enough, don't use this as a
source for Cygwin utilites.

Good, that's what it's supposed to do.

Cheers,

I'll have a look, I can add something if not already there.

You'll have to tell me how.  (I've always just *known*.)

Cheers,

cygcheck foo.exe

If the output list contains cygwin1.dll then it uses it.

Re: "which" bug

I was using the which from

http://www.weihenstephan.de/~syring/win32/UnxUtils.html

but I just started using the one from 

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/which

and it works just fine.

Do you know which which you are using? If it's the which from
my porters directory on ftp.franken.de, I have perhaps found the
problem. It's a bug in the access() function of Cygwin itself when
called with ntsec ON. I have fixed that in the cvs repository.
This might happen with another implementation of which as well but
in that case I don't know for sure.

Funny. My Cygwin doesn't even have a which.exe ...

Subject:  "which" bug



When I type

which which

I get the following error message:

which: no which in (/* a long list of directories */)

but when I type

which which.exe

I get

c:\bin\which.exe

I was hoping that I would get this answer when I typed which which.

[DJ Delorie]

Sounds like it just wasn't properly ported to cygwin.  If you wish to
submit a patch to correct it, please do.
